Many Facets of Love

Eusebeia is a noble guide, righteous thought,

guides us in life, saves us from being distraught.

In which direction shall this guidance sway?

Love, a divine force guides Eusebia in a way.

 

The force that binds souls together is love\'s grace,

ego lights up a parting path if we must embrace.

Kindness of the universe are the blessings from above,

a benevolence received so, through us, must flow.

 

Walking along the mysterious path of life we find,

Love has many facets, reflecting on the mind.

Many kinds from Eros\' fire to Agape\'s selfless bind,

the beauty of love makes the souls eternally entwined.

 

All around the cosmos, the light of love gleams,

A central psychic force, love endows the theme.

Philia, the love for knowledge is a scholar\'s dream,

consciousness evolves as curiosity gives it steam.

 

With many facets, love is a gem so bright,

Eros is a lover’s passion that ignites the night.

Ludus, a love in courtship, is playful slight,

a flirtatious dance, cupid’s utter delight.

 

Love is a bonding in friendship so strong and tight,

Storge is love in family caring for everyone\'s plight.

Philoprogenitive love displays its nurturing might,

between parents and children, stays shining bright.

 

Philautia is our self-love within each one’s sight,

Nurture and care for yourself in your loving light.

Pragma is mature love, diffused, enduring and right,

where compromises and patience guide the foresight.

 

Love is expansive yet it appears anchored,

like attracts the like, is a law most pampered.

Agape is selfless, seamless, pure and right,

that can transcend the heavens, a beautiful sight.

 

The way we perceive love can be either healthy or ill,

healthy has no attachments and no voids to fill.

Unhealthy love is possessive, a path darker still,

Hubris, narcissism and arrogance, it could instill.

 

Close your eyes, reflect on your loves so dear,

things that make your heart leap without fear.

People, passions, places or interesting things

behold those joys and the happiness it brings.

 

Not the subject, the feeling of love gives us a thrill.

feel no need for possession, let it flow and spill.

When you vibrate with joy, it radiates everywhere,

you achieve Eudaimonia, a blissful state so rare.
